• THE GLASS WIFE; the storm he built himself    CHAPTER 23

  SERENA’S POVTell me your crazy without telling me you’re crazy.That was the perfect way to describe the actions of one Mr. Beckett that just so happened to be my husband.Eliot.A man I used to regard as high as a morning star. Eagerly hoping and praying that he saw me too. Glance at me even. A smile would’ve been nice.But now… Now. Well, not so much. He wasn’t that sort of person to me anymore. Lost that prestige after his very audacious moves this past week. In fact, instead of drowning or staying mad at him, I was… I felt good.Truly good, deep inside of me.Most undoubtably due to my recent adventure in the fashion world, with Axel on my side like a plague. It was both comforting and refreshing to be honest. Especially after not just hearing but actually seeing an entirely different side of Eliot surface right in front of me.“I called and texted you. You cut them off and come home at this late hour? Where have you been, Serena?” I didn’t know whether to be amused or offended t

  ELIOT’S POVSerena is seeing someone else?Sh-she leaves the house… to go see some man? To meet up with a- a man?? That’s what she has been doing all this time? All this time that I’ve been-“No,” I whispered, pausing the thought right then. “No. That’s impossible. Not possible at all. How can- Serena is not that kind of person.”My eyes went to my laptop screen again. The comments… and I almost cussed at myself right then and there. A scoff leaving my lips, “How am I letting these crazy people mess with me? Putting ideas in my head and just- This is exactly why I don’t like this blog! Why I dislike this blogger. Whoever she is!” I snapped, the blog post getting to me more than I would like to admit.“All she does is post crazy stuff like this. Triggering people and forcing unnecessary narratives down everyone’s throat! A woman’s silence is dangerous? It’s her freedom that scares them? Who the hell says stuffs like this? Scare who?! Serena can do whatever she likes for all I care! She

  ELIOT’S POVWhat just fucking happened?!“Serena,” I knocked on the door, my anger boiling. “Serena, open up. I’m not done talking to you.”“Serena? Serena, open this door damned door right now! Open up, dammit!” I pounded on the door, a consistent boom plus unbridled cusses filling the air. But still, no movement was made behind the door.The door didn’t pop open. Serena was not responding, and I was left standing. Outside. Locked out like a fool from my own bedroom! “This is still my room, Serena. You don’t get to lock me out!” I yelled out, not knowing what to do with my anger. But still, no response.Not a fucking response.Instead, all I got was a little gathering forming at the stairs. The staff… their hushed shuffles reaching my ears as I stood, almost shaking with anger. And now humiliation. Upon noticing I had caught them, several gasps filled the air. Everyone scurrying away, leaving behind Rosa at the end.Her elderly form, standing tall and proper. A scolding yet disappoint

  Eliot's POV “S-sir!” One of the ladies gasped loudly, her eyes wide in surprise to see me standing right outside the office of their little gathering. Her reaction quickly alerted the others, John being the first to jump to his feet.“Heading out for lunch, Sir?” He smiled, behaving like I hadn't just seen him seated with the women gossiping. During work hours too! “Oh, about this? It’s not what it looks like, sir! I assure you”“Yeah! we were… we-“We're discussing strategies!” another cut in, “discussing strategies to make us even better, that’s all.”“Yeah,” John concluded, not sounding so sure of that last statement, but still going along with it. Hoping I would look past their poor attempt at covering their asses. They weren’t even my concern at this point. So, I just walked off. My face tight with a scowl as I made up my mind to head home. I wasn’t concentrating here anyway.This was the second time now for me to leave during work hours. The very second time in all my years o

  ELIOT’S POVI fucking blocked this blog! Why was I still receiving notifications like this?Why?“I can’t even believe this.” I hissed under my breath, angrily swiping away the notification from my screen. “I can’t fucking believe this. Dammit!” I couldn’t even concentrate enough to search up the damned blog and hit that forsaken block button once and for all!I couldn’t concentrate. Not anymore. Not when all that filled my thoughts was the fact that Serena intentionally rejected my calls.She saw me trying to call her and rejected them. Why? Why would she? She was never like this. If anything, she used to be so excited to take my calls!Her elated voice welcoming me each and every time that I had to call her. So, what was this? What, all of that changed in just a week? Cause of the divorce issue? How was that even possible?A person can’t change like that. But then again, her actions these past days has been nothing short of strange. Totally out of the ordinary and not something the

• THE GLASS WIFE; the storm he built himself    CHAPTER 18

  ELIOT’S POV“Welcome back home, Sir.”The maid at the door greeted softly as i passed through. The empty and somewhat cold living room welcoming me as I did. Gone was Serena and Axel that had occupied the living room yesterday. Today they weren’t there, smiling or laughing like I had seen them.And a smirk made its way to the edge of my lips as I remembered just how that ended yesterday; in yelling and crying.Now that boat has sailed, good. Where was Axel and his little speech from yesterday, huh?“Getting kicked out for sure,” I smirked. Finally having something to feel good about after the mess from yesterday.All that exchange, yelling and all… just added to my already messed up day. Ruining the purpose for which I had returned home early yesterday. But good thing that ended well at least. Axel was sent out like the little lamb he was, and Serena… she locked herself up in the room.All through to this morning.“I hope she’s better now though, cause we have to talk about the upcomin
